Thread: Your First Pet??

Hybrid View

    A long-haired tuxy kitty named Tippy, and Baby, a long-haired cream colored kitty with a grey tear-shaped patch under her left eye (Hence why her name was Baby)

    I've never known life without an animal, my family has always had them since before I came along, but tippy and baby were the only ones we had when I was younger - around 2 or 3.

    A Lhasa Apso/Cocker Spaniel mix named Spike. He was a birthday gift for my second birthday.

    Thank you Wolf_Q!

    Well, we had an assortment of fish, frogs, hamsters, and crabs. MY first pets was a rat named Stuart, then a guinea pig named Cinnamon, then a black DLH male named Fuzznuts, then a mouse named Lemmiwinks. All those were when I was living with a parent. My very first all-my-own furbaby, after I moved out, was a DSH tuxedo male named Tier.

    Well, I was born straight into the family when both my RB kitties Brando and Zsa-Zsa were two years old, so I suppose technically they were my 'first' pets.



    But I'll always think of my very own first pet as my mini lop rabbit, Bo-peep. I got her when I was four and I remember feeling so proud that I had a pet which I had to look after. Bo-peep was also the first pet I had which went to the RB, on 16th March 2002, and I felt so horrid that day I wanted to just die. Here's Bo-peep's baby pic

    I'll never keep track of all the fish that have come and gone, so I'll just say dogs. If you mean MY first pet, that would be Pheobe, if you're talking the pet that was my families when I was born, that would be Houblie.

    Here's a pic of us together, I was telling her I would leash-train her. I never finished.

    We had Misty from before I was born until I was... 11? She was a cat. I think she was 17 when she was pts.

    I think my parents had a dog when I born, too. Not sure.

    The first pet that was really MINE was Pookie, a very fat dilute calico. I was six and she claimed me. Her water broke in my lap; her kittens had to be in my room. She was pts when I was 12... I still have a hard time thinking about my Pookie.

    My first pet was a Male Sable Collie back in 1965. His name was Sam. He used to always get in the neighbors compost pile. My sisters and I called him Sam Sam the garbage man. lol
